Hydraulic Lift Table

What if a lift table knew exactly where every ram was?

A four-ram hydraulic lift table with tilt, custom safety controls and sensors that double-check each other.

The welding capstone

The lift table is the final project in the shop's fabrication sequence: engine stand, then hoist, then this.

All safety-critical control runs on a dedicated microcontroller. The touchscreen only watches; it never commands the hydraulics. Every ram lock is confirmed by two different kinds of sensor before the firmware trusts it.
